OK, So there wasn't enough advance notice this time. How about we try again for next month same details (except the second Tuesday in October)? BTW, any venue suggestions would be welcome. Denny's has gone a little upscale for just hanging out. (20 years ago, 15-Sep-04, to lugnet.org.ca.viclug, lugnet.loc.ca.bc.vic, FTX)

OK, here goes. I signed up to be the organizer for the AFOL Meetup in Victoria and renamed it VicLUG. Lets give it a try next Tuesday night (Sept 14) at 8:00 pm at the Denny's across from Mayfair Mall. It is fairly central and has good parking and (...)

Hello Fellow brick fetishists! There is a very good chance that the Vancouver Lego Club will be exhibiting its talents at Science World ( (URL) ) in the spring of 2005.

Thanks for replying! :) As you can see by the delay in my response this is a bad time for all concerned with holidays and summer chaos.

OK, so I would like to meet up with other AFOL's in Victoria and maybe even set up a display at the Model Railroad Show in September. But before I do I need to know which of the following is true: a) VicLUG is dead and if I want to play with the (...) (20 years ago, 18-Jun-04, to lugnet.org.ca.viclug, lugnet.loc.ca.bc.vic)

In case anyone actually reads either of these groups. :) I bought a Repblic Gunship @ Winners on Sunday. They still had one left plus the bounty hunter ambush set from Phantom Menace and several technic-style R2's and Darth Vaders. (20 years ago, 23-Mar-04, to lugnet.loc.ca.bc.vic, lugnet.org.ca.viclug)

I was @ Winners yesterday and they had several LEGO sets (and a few cheapo brands including a large pirate ship.)

We do have them, the last one was more than a year ago- generally, it is informal, and kind of by invite, because of the fact that it is almost always held at a VICLUG members home, and some of us are more privacy worried than others.
